Entertainment Weekly has a long article in this week's issue, basically saying Mike Myers is a jerk. I don't think they dug up anything that hasn't been written many times before, but I hadn't heard this:
Myers' clout extended beyond Austin Powers. Midway through production on Shrek, he decided the ogre should speak with a Scottish accent — an inspired notion that cost DreamWorks roughly $5 million in wasted animation.
You can read the whole article here.
I'm pleased to say the same issue of EW lists Camp Camp, which I recommend earlier this week, as one of nine "musts" this week.
(My favorite Mike Myers movie is So I Married An Axe Murderer.)
It's not THAT bad. I mean, Dreamworks is loaded, and can you really imagine Shrek without a Scottish Accent? I'm glad he did it!
